"Camera Failed" Software or Hardware issue?

For some reason my front facing camera wont work. Whenever i open it the message "Camera failed" will pop up and close the app. I have not dropped my phone before. And i have tried every solution i could find on the internet to resolve it myself yet the problem is still there. I dont know if its a soft or hardware issue. Just last week all of a sudden it was working everything was fine was able to take some pictures with the front facing camera and now again all of a suddenly it stopped working again. Could somebody identify for me if its soft or hardware issue.

Try downloading another camera app such as opencamera. If it doesn't work either, back up your information, try a factory reset. If the factory reset doesn't fix the issue, you likely have a hardware failure.

But this is a Galaxy S8, it should still be under manufacturer's warranty. You should just backup your data and send it back to Samsung and let them figure out if its software or hardware.
